Diving is for Everyone Now
Scuba diving has changed. It's no longer the domain of hardcore divers who log five dives a day and spend every vacation chasing the next bucket-list site. Today's divers are just as likely to be someone who dives once or twice a year, squeezing one or two dives into a seven-day family trip, or trying it for the first time on a whim. That's exactly who we dive with every day at our three Ambergris Caye resorts. Guests who want to spend a morning underwater and an afternoon on the beach. Solo travelers who want a great dive without committing to a full week of diving. Families where some snorkel and some dive and everyone still ends up in the water together. Couples where one is certified and the other is curious. Belize is one of the easiest places in the world to dive casually. The water is warm, the visibility is exceptional, and the reef is right there. You don't need to be serious about diving to have a serious diving experience.

Ambergris Caye sits within minutes of some of the most celebrated dive sites on the Belize Barrier Reef.

Night Diving in Belize
The reef after dark is a completely different world. Creatures that stay hidden during the day emerge at night, and the beam of a dive torch reveals colors and details that daylight washes out. A night dive in Belize is one of the most memorable things you can do underwater.Our guided night dives depart from the resort in small groups, led by expert local guides who know exactly where to look. Octopus hunting across the sand, lobster emerging from the coral, spotted moray eels on the move, and bioluminescence that makes the water glow around you as you swim. Night dives are available as an add-on to any of our dive packages. Groups are kept small so every diver gets personal attention and the experience stays intimate.
